I'm pretty sure C is the way to go. Loopback interfaces are not required for EVPN VXLAN, which is a different overlay technology.

Haha, why would anyone even consider option A? Loopback addresses are always required for underlay connectivity, OSPF or not!

B seems like the right choice. Loopback interfaces should be avoided if NSX is used as an overlay.
